We Are Invited
In
The
invitation has been given. God invites
us into a relationship with Him. He
desires not just a conversation, or for us to come over for tea on occasion,
but to call Him up, often. He wants our
texts, our emails, our chatty conversations, or cries of woes, and our shouts
of happy. He wants to be such a part of
our lives that He keeps extending the invitation, time and again.
“Come unto me, all who are
weary,
and carry heavy loads.
I will help you carry that
load.”
And
when we pray, in some magical mystical way, God hears us, even if all we can do
is groan, moan, toss and turn, let tears fall from our eyes, or even if we are
silent. He is with us in all of those
moments as well.
To
God, the relationship is everything. And
relationship, by its very nature, means closeness, conversation, communication,
trust. We are connected in ways we may
not understand, yet God wants that connection with us.
And
so, we are continually invited into the very presence of God. He wants us to metaphorically crawl up onto
His lap and just be with Him.
I
can handle that kind of friendship. I
identify with that kind of relationship.
Some
of our finest moments are when Carolyn and I just cuddle. We usually lie in bed, arms entwined. We may talk or not. Often, she’ll ask me to tell her some stories
from my childhood.
But
mostly … we cuddle. I love the very
presence of her in my arms.
Just
today, we were in a furniture store and found a two-seat leather sofa. We had to try it out. And for those few minutes we cuddled.
Can
you picture that in your relationship with God?
It’s simply being with Him.
My prayer for you is that you will experience those moments of
time with God and they will become some of the most precious and intimate
moments you’ve ever imagined.
